This is a regression and it seems it happens in Ubuntu. Nautilus has an utility to migrate (nautilus-convert-metadata) which was added on http://gitorious.org/nautilus/nautilus/commit/1d14824dc8ab6f1f8573b07c11ce437ae22dc77b
Also in: http://gitorious.org/nautilus/nautilus/commit/72f65592a84cb8e9ad2ccaa6bbfd7fe4fbe7371b There was a (probably related) bug on the Debian package, according to the following message: http://np237.livejournal.com/25396.html The issue is nautilus-convert-metadata is not installed in Ubuntu. Hence, it fails to migrate the user data. Look at the code: 3 if (g_file_test (metafile_dir, G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) { 644 updated = g_build_filename (metafile_dir, "migrated-to-gvfs", NULL); 645 if (!g_file_test (updated, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) { 646 g_spawn_command_line_async (LIBEXECDIR"/nautilus-convert-metadata --quiet", NULL); 647 fd = g_creat (updated, 0600); 648 if (fd != -1) { 649 close (fd); 650 } 651 } 652 g_free (updated); 653 } 654 g_free (metafile_dir); 655 } This is a regression. IMVHO it should not be low priority. I compiled nautilus by myself and I ran manually nautilus-convert-metadata and the issue was gone. -- Folder settings (metadata) lost after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
